In May 2011, through Ordinance 229 of Labor Inspection Secretariat (LIS), the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) was regulated in Brazil. With the implementation of this system, information on chemical hazards must comply with the provisions of technical standard ABNT NBR 14.725 (parts 1 to 4) and obligatorily compose the contents of the safety data sheets in the country. It is through this document that manufacturers and distributors of chemicals transmit essential information about the hazards of a substance or a mixture to its users, enabling them to take necessary measures to protect health and the environment. The research evaluated the commitment of chemical industries to pollution prevention actions through a critical analysis of the quality of the environmental information contained in the safety data sheets issued in the Brazilian territory. The methodology consisted of exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach of a sampling population of 183 FISPQ, whose analysis revealed the level of commitment of manufacturers and distributors with the communication of chemical hazards to the environment and of alternative means for prevent the potential environmental impacts associated with the management of these products. The results showed how much still needs to be done in the communication on how to safely manage chemical products in the country. The research contributes as an alert to civil society, safeguards' and regulatory entities and of other interested parties regarding the progress of the industrial sector in terms of chemical safety and awareness regarding the environmental protection of those who can use the safety data sheets of chemicals.
